Arizona State Veterinary Medical Examining Board - March 18, 2015 — FINAL Page 6 


General regarding: 

a. Terms and conditions surrounding probationary status of licensees and certificate 
holders. 

Ms. Van Langen and Ms. Krishna discussed terms and conditions surrounding 
probationary status of licensees and certificate holders. The Board needs to consider the 
purpose of Probation - a period of time to complete terms of an Order. Once the 
requirements of the Order are completed, the licensee or certificate holder may be 
returned to Active status, subject fo Board approvals; no monitoring or restrictions are 
typically placed on a licensee or certificate holder for the duration of the term of the 
Probation once the terns of the Order have been completed. 


b. Citation to applicable rules concerning A.R.S. § 32-2233(B)(3) when finding an 
administration violation for minor records violations that are routine entries into a 
medical record and that do not affect the diagnosis or care of the animal. 

Ms. Van Langen and Ms. Krishna discussed that the Board should weigh their options in 
regards to medical record violations and try to be consistent in making determinations. 
One choice is to find an administrative violation of A.R.S. § 32-2233 (B) (3) (medical 
record violations that are routine entries and do not affect the diagnosis or care of the 
animal); the second choice is a violation of A.R.S. § 32-2232 (21). With the administrative 
violation, the Board may only impose a civil penalty. Requiring continuing education 
hours is not an option with that statute. Board orders containing violations cited under 
either statute are available to the public via the Board's website. When citing A.R.S. § 
32-2233 (B} (3), the Board should identify the applicable administrative rule, as they do 
when finding a violation of A.R.S. § 32-2232 {21}.
